You know what dangerous goods Israel has banned from Gaza over the years?

Pre-2010: lentils, pasta, tomato paste, juice, shaving cream, soda, crayons, soccer balls, toilet paper, books, light bulbs, refridgerators, wheelchairs, chocolate. In February 2009, pasta was allowed.

2025: baby formula .

🚨 Horrifying scenes : Aerial footage shows the complete destruction of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza. According to Israeli sources: “We didn’t leave a single stone standing.”

We're cooking something new: global standards, local culture

If your game is all about motion and moving, then you won't catch the player's eye with something moving towards their goal.

Instead, you have to make it stale and static.

However, there's one thing I believe that can be the golden rule for #leveldesign for every genre, camera or game we're working.

Do what you want but create CONTRAST for your player.

Contrast between mechanics to avoid doing same thing again and again.
Contrast in form, texture, motion and so on

Techniques seem to be forgotten or less popular in 1st/3rd camera, can be a huge help in isometric or vice versa.

Breadcrumbing, golden path, movements toward your objective can help a lot while framing or using landmarks don't have the glory of mainstream genres here.

Most of the games I've worked on were more or less in isometric view while so many tips and tricks of #leveldesign being shared here and there, are considered for 1st/3rd person view.

So as I was learning، I had to find a way to translate them into the camera, genre and project I was working.

Hey fellow #leveldesign ers.

I don't know when you joined or when will you be, but I'll find you and try to form our community here again.

Really cool to go back and look at the #leveldesign of #ShadowOfTheColossus how they built in the visual language for gameplay into their structures and their use of shape theory. Classic for a reason if you want to improve your own traversal checkout my book: bit.ly/3tsgQtO

I'll be speaking at GDC about the level design of Tactical Breach Wizards this year! And everything is fine because I'm definitely on track with my slides and rehearsing because I haven't been distracted and it hasn't been 8 years since I've done this yep everything will be fine please be fine
